Kayla has a new little friend who she just can't get enough of! She is constantly asking when Nikki can come over and play. It is so fun to see my little girl growing up. She LOVES playing princesses. This was a pic of them  having a princess 'birthday party'. Crowns were a MUST!

I just realized I never posted the pictures from Mitchell's newborn shoot. I had so much fun taking them of him. He was six days old and dealt with everything we put him through like a champ! I love being able to take pictures of my new little babies. Mitchell has been one sweet boy. I seriously don't think I could have even imagined the happiness he would bring into our home. Kayla loves him so much, and it makes me feel proud to be the parent of two cute little kids!

| 4th of July fun |

I am so behind in blogging. Oh well, get over it :)

We had a great 3rd of July. We definitely filled the weekend with fun, there were birthday parties, carnivals, hot dog roasts, bubbles, blessings, and plenty of family time.

Here are some photos from some of the festivities, I still need to get the other photos off my small digital camera!

These photos are hilarious below...the progression pretty much tells the story

| a name & a blessing |

We blessed Mitchell on July 4th. It was such a wonderful day! It was a crazy week/weekend for us with it being the 4th of July weekend, but everything went great.

I love blessing day's, I enjoy getting to hear Bryan bless our children. He gave a wonderful blessing on Mitchell. I am glad he holds the priesthood and is able to bless our family in the many ways he does.

We all wrapped up the day with a nice LONG nap, I think each one of us enjoyed the snuggle time.

(had to throw this one in, she loves the swing...and her sunglasses!)

Well, rather than create some kind of order, and story I figured I would just upload some recent pics. I have SO many to upload. These are just some pictures people have sent me over the past few days (luckily they are good and download them MUCH sooner than I ever do). Someday I will have time to upload some of my photos. There is so much too catch on...so little time! So enjoy these for now! Thanks Becky and Amy!

And yes, Mitchell is quite the chub. We love those little bull dog cheeks :)

I love this little boy!


And ps. people always ask me if he looks like Kayla did so I pulled a photo of her:

(I sure think they look a lot alike!)
